Assume
Mrs Joseph age is x years,
Bindu age is y years
Equation 1=
(x)=(y)+27
x-y=27.......1
Equation 2=
(x+8)=2(y+8)
x+8=2y+16
x-2y=16-8
x-2y=8......2
{x+8 =after eight years}

Let the age of Bindu be x years.
Then the age of Mrs.Joseph will be x + 27 years.
After 8 years :
The age of Bindu will be x + 8 years.
The age of Mrs.Joseph will be x + 8 + 27 = x + 35 years.
Given that Mrs. Joseph will be twice as old as Bindu.
x + 35 = 2(x + 8)
x + 35 = 2x + 16
x = 19.
then the age of Mrs.Joseph will be x + 27 = 19 + 27 = 46 years.
The age of Bindu = 19 years.
The age of Mrs.Joseph = 46 years.
Hope this helps!
